Doesn't it look like pop singer Rhianna makes a brief cameo appearance in the extended Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer at around the 4:15 mark?

Video Blips:

• This version of the spectacular Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer has hero Adam Jensen playing the role of narrator. I find that his voice contains the perfect amount of raspiness for the role.

 

Continue after the break for a developer diary for Dragon Age 2, an interview for Back to the Future: The Game, and a mutant rallying cry for X-Men: Destiny.

 

• I'm thrilled to learn that this trailer isn't for a new Samurai Jack video game, but rather Journey, from the creators of Flow and Flower. It's hard for me to think of words to describe this video that don't resort to gushing over its visuals.

 

• The guys at BioWare discuss what they learned from making Dragon Age: Origins and how they plan to improve the next installment in the series. I'm gonna assume they didn't devote too much time to coming up with an original name for the sequel.

 

• Dennis Lenart, director of Back to the Future: The Game, emphasizes that like the movies, "time travel is the problem as opposed to the solution." Good thing the characters realize this after the fact, since otherwise we wouldn't have much of a story. [GameTrailers]


 

• How can X-Men: Destiny hope to compete with the upcoming port of the beat-em-up X-Men arcade game? Unless Destiny also features six-player co-op, I don't see it even being a fair contest. [GameTrailers]

Yep, definitely Rhianna. I want Human Revolution to be good so badly! And Journey looks interesting. It's hard to tell what it really is, I think.

@Chris, Human Revolution looks so awesome it makes me want to play the other Deus Ex games, though I hear they weren't very good. Journey is this crazy game where you walk around either alone or with people who you can't communicate with. You try to solve puzzles together, but for example sometimes what's advantageous to you might make things harder for your commrades. Social experiment stuff.
